Bloggie Blog World

So, read my last post and realized a whole middle chunk was missing, but whatever, i think you got the gist.
so... this is kinda gonna be all over the place...

have i changed this summer?
I think i have.
the biggies:
-became a mommy! this was technically in the spring, but it changed my life this summer. especially when my baby got sick a couple days ago.:-(. had me tearing up in the vet lol. but he seems to be okay now. 4 medications, bland food, and $350 later lol. just bored and wanting his old food back.
-bought a car! woot! which changed my life in general in a good way and makes me so proud that we did it by ourselves.
-went on vacation, which I don't do often. And my first vacation with the boyfriend and his fam. first cruise too :-D.
-became a business owner -- temporarily. which changed both me and pj, the way we work together and handle our money, and even our personalities, more confident, more outgoing, and more involved with the community here in galloway, which was pretty cool.

and the not so big-ies.

**Despite feeling like i gained 10 lbs during the cruise, I prob lost about 5 overall.
**I discovered that Kashi bars are not just a snack... they are a way of life. When you Kashi, you're a happier person. You don't run low on sugar because there's a bar always in your bag. There's a craving-satisfier for all my sweet tooth needs, and I don't feel bad indulging in say... 3 during the work day. You're okay skipping lunch because they are rich and fiber and protein so you feel like you're not going hungry. and you save money because you're not starving by 5 pm and giving in to buying a shit load of wawa. as was my life pre-Kashi.
**my hair is shorter and healthier. despite just recently running out of the house for puppy emergencies, i've been taking care of it much better. I now have my own chi and red ken shampoo and 2 new brushes and other hair health shit... which is no big deal to everyone else, but for me, who tried to survive the last 2 years with 1 shitty brush, $3 shampoo and $15 straighteners, this is a big deal. lol
**I still get stressed, but I know how to calm myself down now. I'll set aside a time for a quick nap or just 10 minutes for meditation and it changes my whole day.
**I'm a more understanding girlfriend... or so I would like to think lol
**I've become somewhat of a shopaholic. This was a change I'm not proud of. I could barely go 3 days without going to a store and every time I went, I had to get a little something for myself, or room, or Hugo lol. Was pretty bad. i didnt spend too much, except in the orlando outlets and my pre- vacation clothes shopping, but i still feel bad. putting myself on a serious budget once school starts.
**but i am glad that ive learned that its okay to get new clothes lol. something i only did when absolutely necessary. i actually like my clothes now which is a huge plus lol
**im more active in general. which changes the way I carry myself.
**i attempted to learn a language... even though my practice faded after like a week. i plan to pick it back up though
** i'm less concerned with where I'll end up and more concerned with taking advantage of the moment. trying to make the most of these next 2 years at RU. wish me luck.

i'm looking forward to my next blog being in the comfort of my own bed back in new brunswick. this summer has been a wild ride, man... but im glad its coming to an end. 4 more days at countryside, 7 more days of MC ownership, one day of jury duty and i'm calling it quits.

also... havent heard back from penguin :-( haha, i'm actually not as sad as maybe i should be. maybe because i'm tired of working my ass off. if i don't hear anything by friday, i'm rearranging my schedule to one that works better for me and utilizes my mondays and wednesdays. we shall see... <3 thanks for listening
